Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment program which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have enough money to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. By way of example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in fact a long-term program will likely be the more appropriate option. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for particulars.
